But are you "most people"? (I have been seriously questioning the competence of not only myself, but of the people reporting the news, as well as others. It's pretty clear that there are some competent people out there, somewhere, but they seem to be well hidden... Anyways, I am sort of dubious about a lot of things, recently...). As for the economy, I think it's doing what it's supposed to be doing (which is to say: people are getting food to eat) but beyond that, there have been some really bad long-term indicators, especially in the banking sectors. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
